Legal History Workshop

2 - 3 credits · Graduate credit

This course features presentations by leading scholars from around the country who work in this interdisciplinary field. Participants include faculty from the Law School and LSA. Presentations situate legal developments in social, political, intellectual, and cultural context. They explore a range of substantive and methodological questions arising in legal-historical work. Papers address questions at the intersection of law and, inter alia, the study of race, gender, ethnicity, and class. Students earning academic credit are full participants and expected to prepare short critiques of each paper in advance.
